BENTONVILLE, ARK.

Wal-Mart Stores is being sued in federal court in Tennessee for allegedly discriminating against
female workers in five Southern states.

Three women sued in Nashville, Tenn., yesterday, seeking to proceed on behalf of Wal-Mart’s
female employees in the company’s region that includes Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia and Mississippi. The suit alleges Wal-Mart paid women less than men in comparable jobs.

It’s the third regional claim following the Supreme Court decision last year rejecting a
nationwide class action.
